PRAYER Hefore the Eattle.

Judge Q. A. Lochrane, of Georgia, is cred
tied with the following: "Governor Gordon,
Senator Colquitt and Glen. Benning were to-
gether i'll the southern army. The first two
are very religious and always engaged in
prayer before going into a battle. One day
just before the Federal troops were about to
charge, Gems. Gordon and Colquitt started
toward a little log cabin. On the way they
met Gen. Benning, and, they asked him to
join them in the cabin. He supposed they
were going in there to take a drink and fol-
lowed them. Give ME a drink quick said
Gen. Benning, 'as there is no time to lose
we did not come here to drink, said Gen.
Gordon; we came here to pray oh, ex-
cuse me- said Benning, as he hurried out of
the cabin. His conduct mortified the generals.
They could not understand how a man could
be so indifferent on the eve of what promised
to be a very fierce battle. After having
prayed fervently they went into the conflict
full of confidence. Whenth battle was over
it was found that both Gems. Gordon and
Colquitt had been seriously injured, while
Gen. Benning had not received a s~cratch.n-

Drinking is, it seems to me, growing in
Washington, and it is said that on New Years
DAY .severai ladies ofttie cabinet offered wine
and punch to their guests. This has not
been usual in Washington society, though
there has always been a private decanter for
such of the old stagers as are accustomed
to have their liquor. Washington punch is
used at the receptions as it was a year or SO
ago. 1t is the most 'sdrunk producing" article

one part of sour lemonade, one half part of

An RdI1Or Rhot

NASHVILLE. Tenn, Dec. 24.-John
J. Littleton, editor of the National Re-
view, leading republican paper in
Tennessee, was shot near his home on
High street this morning, by Joseph R..
Banks, a real estate agent. Banks is a
republican, and he and Littleton be-
long to opposite factions of the repub-
lican party in Tennessee. Banks was
one of the active opponents of Little
ton in the election, when Littleton was
the republican nominee for mayor. By
the cooperation of BANKS and this
faction to which he belongs Littleton
was defeated, and the issue of
Litt1eton's paper for last week was
very bitter on those who opposed
him, giving most unsayory record to
many Of them by name. On Banks he
was especially severe accusing him
directly of nameless immoral practices.
Banks has been moving in the best
society, and was terribly angered.
Littleton was out of the city when the
paper appeared being in attendance at
the conference of republicans in New
York. He returned last night and
this morning he left home little be-
fore 10 O'Clock. As he passed little
his home on High street, Banks
stepped out with a double
barreled shot gun and fired. The shot
struck Littleton's left side some of
them penetrating his liver. He fell
crying "Oh Lord and Banks fired
the other barrel In his left groin.
Iittleton staggered to his feet and
said, 30 you coward" Banks walked
to the Jail and gave himself up. Little
ton walked home with the assistance of
a friend. Littleton declares that he will
get well and his friends are hopeful
but the doctors say his wounds are
very serious.
